"Go ndeontar suim bhreise ná raghaidh thar £7,750 chun íoctha an mhuirir a thiocfidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1931, chun íocaíochtanna fé Acht na mBóthar Iarainn, 1924, fén Tramways and Public Companies (Ireland) Act, 1883, etc., agus chun crícheanna eile a bhaineann le hIompar in Eirinn.
That a Supplementary sum not exceeding £7,750 be granted to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending 31st March, 1931, for payments under the Railways Act, 1924, the Tramways and Public Companies (Ireland) Act, 1883, etc., and for other purposes connected with Irish transport."
The details of this Vote are set out in the paper itself. The latter portion —EE—giving details, shows that a certain sum had been voted last year, of which £2,000 was the final instalment but the conditions under which that instalment were to be paid were not satisfied and, consequently, the £2,000 lapsed. It is now proposed to have this £2,000 re-voted, the conditions having now been fulfilled. In addition to that we are asking the Dáil to assent to the payment of a sum of £5,750 to meet the losses in working in the year 1930. These are the usual payments made to the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway in respect of the working of three Government lines in Co. Donegal. The sum of £5,750 is given on the usual conditions: (1) that it is a maximum sum and may be sealed down if conditions allow; (2) that the Government of Northern Ireland advance an equal amount.
